Please hover over center picture to find the "Play" button on the top left of the picture to start the slide show! Enjoy!~Huge Thank you to Krista Hertz, Dan Hargrove & Mrs. Gleason for making this happen! Students were able to connect what they have learned in the Project Lead The Way Curriculum as well as much, much more!

Week of January 4:

Coming up next week we will be taking our winter NWEA tests. We only test reading and math in the winter to see mid-year growth. We will take our reading test next Monday the 11th and our math on Tuesday the 12th, both will be in the morning. Students may bring gum to school on those days if you would like. Please try not to schedule any appointments during those times. Thanks so much!!

Wow! I can not believe how fast December flew by! We were so busy with creating holiday greeting cards to share with military families with our Social Studies Unit "How can we make a difference" and our Writing Friendly Letters as well as Thank You notes Unit. We also wrote about our "1st Snow Day" and what we each did when we found out school was cancelled.

In Science we finished our Project Lead the Way Gliders & tested them in the classroom to see how far we could fly them with and without "cargo" added on. Be sure to ask your student what our testing showed us and what they learned about the "Forces of Flight"!

In Math we finished up learning many Multiplications strategies and started our Multiplication Timingseach day. Keep looking for the facts they need to master in each Tuesday's Homework Packets. We also have moved onto learning Division strategies and how they are related to Multiplication. Please ask your student about what "Inverse" means when we are comparing these to topics.

In Reading we finished our Unit 3 and shared our Inquiry Group projects books. We also started our Unit 4 books and we will research What is the story of Earth?

Our current writing piece includes things we did with family or friends over the break and writing a detailed Narrative that includes dialog. We are also starting our goals for the new year.

Sacred at the All Schools Pow Wow November 7, 2015

​Week of November 23:In Reading we are finishing our Inquiry Unit 2 and creating a Timeline to support our research on How Science & Technology have helped us have fun. We will continue our Unit 3 - How has geography helped shape our community?Reader's Theater - Weak Verb vs. Strong Verb (please ask your child about this)

In Math we are taking our Chapter 4 Test on using the Associative & Distributive Properties of Multiplication as well as story problems practicing these skills.

Our Writing project for the month is creating holiday cards for families of the military and preparing them for a presentation in December that they will deliver to representatives of the military branches.​In Social Studies we are learning about how immigrants come to our country and how they adapt to our country.

In Science we are continuing our Project Lead The Way Flight Module. Students have drawn a glider that will carry cargo to disaster areas. We will be testing their designs and measuring the distance this week.

​Week of October 19:Wrapping up the 1st Quarter of school! Where did the time go?Please look in Tuesday Envelopes for the Greenconference paper with the time scheduled for your child. If this time does not fit your schedule, please let me know as soon as possible so we can work out a better one for you.In Math we are beginning to assess Chapter 1 & Chapter 2 skill as well as starting Chapter 3. In Chapter 3 we are using repeated addition to help us see the relationship with multiple sets of numbers and how this will help us find the multiplication answer. We are also practicing our data collection skills and rounding skills and creating tally charts, bar graphs, picture graphs and writing questions for others to answer while looking at our graphs. We are also taking a closer look at populations of Native Reservations across Montana and using the above graphing skills to compare and contrast them.

We will continue to expand our Social Studies distance on a map unit while researching the Native Reservations in Montana as well as listen to a read aloud about customs that use pictures to tell about the past.

In Reading we are continuing our "Science At Play" Unit and learning how science can help help deliver information through movies, games, and computers.

​Week of October 12:In Math we are getting ready to wrap up Chapter 2 "Organizing data" to create tally charts, picture Graphs & bar graphs. We will take a few days to recheck how well we remember the skills taught as well as take some assessments on skills in Chapter 1 - adding & subtracting within 1000.

in our Reading Series "LEAD 21" e are finishing our Inquiry Unit 1 "How Changes make us who we are" and continuing Unit 2 investigating "Science At Play" we are working on our Inquiry Units and how the process of inferring can help us in all types of reading.

In Science we are starting a Water Cycle Unit that includes learning about how water is transported into our homes and our farms along with how it is cleaned before it arrives. The last week of October we will continuing our investigation process (STEM) with a Pumpkin Unit that ties the Plant Cycle & Water Cycle together.

In Social Studies we have been using a map scale to find distance on a map between Montana Reservations & direction from Billings as well as what things help make each group of Native Americans unique. We are learning that customs and traditions as well as the geography play a big part.
